What is Meditation?

Meditation is the process of getting to know yourself completely, both who you are inside and how you react to what is outside. Above all, meditation is literally enjoying yourself in every sense of the word. Through meditation, you discover a different 'me' from perhaps the stressed or troubled person, who may seem superficially to be 'me'. You realize that your true nature. the real you, is actually very positive. You begin to discover an ocean of peace right on your own doorstep.

Meditation can certainly be looked on as a healing process, both emotionally and mentally, and to a certain extent, physically too. The simplest definition of meditation is : the right use of mind or positive thinking. It is not to deny thoughts, but to use them correctly.
